Norfolk County Register of Deeds William P. O’Donnell has announced the 2018 spring community outreach schedule. The Registry of Deeds speaking engagements and office hours are part of its consumer outreach initiative.

O’Donnell and members of his staff will be at the following locations starting April 26-June 28:

O’Donnell’s goal is to provide a convenient way for residents to learn more about how the Registry serves them as it conducts business closer to their homes, saving them time and money.

“By releasing the spring schedule now, it provides people with advance notice to put these dates on their calendars,” said O’Donnell.

Registry staff cannot provide legal advice, but they will be available, along with the register, to answer basic questions, transport documents for recording and assist in the filling out of a Declaration of Homestead form that provides for limited protection against the forced sale of an individual’s primary residence to satisfy unsecured debt up to $500,000. They will also assist a person in signing up for the new Consumer Notification Program that alerts a homeowner when a transaction has been made against their property to alert them against potential cases of fraud.

Additionally, there will be on-site work stations that can provide the real-time status of a mortgage discharge, print out a copy of a deed and provide a demonstration on how the Registry’s online land records database works. No appointment is necessary.

O’Donnell is also available to speak to the membership of any of the professional or community organizations within Norfolk County. Call 781-461-6116 or email registerodonnell@norfolkdeeds.org for information.
